"No one has any objections, right?" Editor-in-Chief Urashima asked again.

There is no editor to speak below.

To be honest, they feel very helpless now.

Obviously, the first episode of "The Lonely Gourmet" talks about a very simple and everyday thing.

To sum it up in words, it's like this - a middle-aged man received a difficult customer, was exhausted, and then felt hungry, so he found a restaurant to eat.

It's such a simple daily plot.

However, such a simple plot has been carefully processed by Higashinoji with very particular techniques into a story that is as magnificent as a fighter fighting against reality.

This is no longer just a problem with Higashinoji's painting skills, but Higashinoji's ability to conceive plots has also risen to a new level.

His ability to conceive plots has improved to a higher level than when he worked on "The Ring".

"This is a weirdo..." an editor below muttered in a low voice.

But the murmurings went away, and the editor present glanced at Hosokawa Koharu in confusion.

They were all a little confused.

Why didn't I realize before that this new editor had this skill? How could he actually guide a new author to such a high level?

Yes, a new author like Higashinoji obviously needs a qualified guide.

As his editor-in-chief, Hosokawa Koharu must have had a huge influence on Higashinoji. Maybe this time "The Lonely Gourmet" was also her idea.

Why didn't you realize that Hosokawa Koharu had this ability before?

Several old people looked at Hosokawa Koharu and secretly made up their mind. They didn't see it before, but now it's too late. They invited the newcomer Hosokawa Koharu to have a meal and asked her what experience she had and how she could cultivate an author like Mr. Higashino.

..She won’t deny face, right?

While they were thinking this way, Editor-in-Chief Urashima, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke:

"Since everyone has no objections, it's decided. "The Lonely Gourmet" will be on the front page of the monthly magazine "Green Leaf"."

As he spoke, he paused: "By the way, you also say hello to the people in the printing department and ask them to postpone the release date of the single volume of "Midnight Ring" and put the release date of the single volume of "Midnight Ring" in the monthly magazine "

When Qingye was published."

When the time comes, we will take advantage of the popularity of the "Midnight Ring" stand-alone book and launch Higashinoji's new work "The Lonely Gourmet" - this is a very common marketing method.

At that time, just the words "A new work by Mr. Higashino, the author of "The Ring"" were enough to attract readers to pay for "Green Leaves".

but...

"Teacher Higashino is really amazing..." Editor-in-Chief Urashima sighed as he looked at the original manuscript of "The Lonely Gourmet" in his hand.

His request can be said to be somewhat difficult, but Higashinoji was able to complete it... No, it can even be said to have exceeded the standard...

This is really awesome.

Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Urashima coughed again and added: "By the way, in order to celebrate the monthly magazine "Aoba" receiving such an outstanding manuscript, I decided to hold a dinner party after get off work today."

"As for the location..."

Editor-in-Chief Urashima groaned, then turned to look at Koharu Hosokawa with a smile on his face: "I'll leave this matter to Editor Hosokawa. Ask Higashino-sensei where...the Japanese restaurant in the manga is."

Well...

Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth.

Seeing the suddenly eager expressions on the faces of Chief Editor Urashima and other colleagues, I seemed to be thinking of the delicious dishes described by Higashinoji.

She swallowed: "Okay, I understand."

Hosokawa Koharu also wanted to know the specific location of the Japanese restaurant.

...

"Huh? Ah, did you get the qualification for the front page? Ah...it's okay. Thanks to Editor Hosokawa for taking care of it, thank you."

Listening to Hosokawa Koharu's congratulatory words on the other end of the phone, Higashinoji smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Great, my efforts have not been in vain, and I have been recognized by the entire editorial department of "Abominable Chill".

Just when he was about to say something else, Chihaya Higashino who was next to him suddenly came over and widened his eyes curiously: "Who is Aji talking to?"

"It's something at work." Higashinoji reached out and touched Higashino Chihaya's head.

"Hey? Is she the woman who wants to have an office romance with Asa?" Chihaya Higashino suddenly became interested.

Office romance...?

Only then did Higashino remember that Higashino Chihaya had met Hosokawa Koharu before, but he still explained: "It is indeed editor Hosokawa."

Just when Higashino Chihaya wanted to ask something else, Hosokawa Koharu over there finally spoke again:

"Although congratulations are congratulations...but Mr. Higashino, can you first tell me the specific address of the Japanese restaurant in "The Lonely Gourmet"? We have decided to have a dinner here at the last minute..."

Make a last-minute decision to have a dinner party?

Hearing this, Higashinoji's first reaction was, 'Is it possible that the poisoning was successful?'

But soon he shook his head and replied:

"Of course, do you have pen and paper over there? Let me tell you, the address is Komagome, Toshima Ward..."

Seeing Higashino speaking seriously about the name of an unknown place on the phone, Chihaya Higashino put her index finger to her mouth and raised her head half-way, wondering what she was thinking.

After Higashinoji finished the call, Chihaya Higashino grabbed his hand and said, "Asaji, are we going out to eat?"

Um?

Higashinoji was stunned when Higashino Chihaya suddenly asked.

Then it dawned on him.

Maybe it was because when I introduced Japanese restaurant to Koharu Hosokawa, she listened to it and took it seriously.

So Higashinoji smiled and nodded, holding Chihaya Higashino's hand in his hand: "Yes, we are going out to eat today. What would you like to eat, Chihaya-san?"

He just got the news that the single volume of "Midnight Ring" will be released in the middle of September 15th, and will be released together with "Green Leaves".

In addition to "The Lonely Gourmet", this is another good news. As a celebration, it is not impossible to go out for dinner with Chihaya Higashino.

"Then I want to eat Mapo tofu!" Chihaya Higashino said seriously as she brought Higashinoji to the entrance to change shoes.

"Huh? The mapo tofu I make is more delicious and more authentic than the ones made outside." Higashinoji joked happily.

"Asi is lying, you have never been to China."

“Just because you haven’t been there doesn’t mean it’s not authentic or delicious.”

"Then I want to eat too!" Chihaya Higashino crossed her hands on her chest angrily: "Asi is really disobeying my sister more and more now."

"well..."

The sound that gradually faded away completely disappeared as the pale yellow entrance lights were turned off.
